OSINT is a symptom of it. When GPT-2 came along, I was worried that at some point the internet will get spammed with AI-crap. Boy, was I naive... I see this incredibly frequently and I get a ton of hate for saying this (including here on HN

You basically just described rebellious youth, which we have all been at some point in our lives. And this statement is complete and utter bs. The problem is that comrade muskov is not a technical person, he is just a "marketing strate

There is one thing that could make this insanely valuable. The bad news is that this thing is outside your control: No phone that I know of ships with a LoRa chip. Though to be fair, the only reason why LoRa (and by extension LoRaWAN and Me

I've been thinking about something like that for a while but never got to working on it: having to design, order and wait for a pcb to get fabricated and shipped half way across the world, only to find out that you messed something up

This is hardly surprising - money was my primary concern in my late teenage years and early 20's - for many young adults in Europe and North America, this is the first time when they are expected to be in full control and really, far t

I've seen that one before. Next thing you know licenses start changing, features locked out and completely removed and development slowly starts creeping towards full proprietary prison. Time to throw some money at Jolla and Sailfish O

Huh... I thought that Gwern would be further up, like top 10. Top 3 even. Weird.

Precisely, now you need to finish off the remaining 70%, which is where most of the work that is required truly lies, with or without all the AI bollocks. Whether it takes 2 or 8 days of work to get those 30% done, it's not much of a d

I hate how what is effectively a stupid meme phrase became an actual term in a few days. > "Vibe Coding" might get you 80% the way to a functioning concept. But to produce something reliable, secure, and worth spending money on

Been there, done that. My granddad had a saying: "the best time to look for a new workplace is while you are at the workplace". My advise is just to keep looking and try to tolerate your job while you are looking for a new one or

It kind of depends. To a degree you are right, but not entirely. For the past two months for instance I've been making a huge push to de-cloud-ify myself entirely and self-host everything. I do have the bandwidth and I do have the hard

> Use what you enjoy working with. No! This is a great advise if you are working on a personal project but a terrible advise in all other scenarios. Use the stack that solves your problem, not the stack you are simply comfortable with.

It's not rage, it's realism - musk is a classic example of extreme stalinism. If there are dozens of such instances on weekly basis and comrade musk is the one behind them, it's naive to think that this one isn't. Especi

My mom has this very interesting theory: A parent needs to be by a child's side for the first 6-7 years of their life and devote all their time to it. Which is what she did with me. My dad stepped up for the challenge and provided for

I did something similar but using a K80 and M40 I dug up from eBay for pennies. Be advised though, stay as far away as possible from the K80 - the drivers were one of the most painful tech things I've ever had to endure, even if 24GB o

I doubt it. Historically, most government agencies around the world have had appalling security and each iteration is just as bad as the previous with a few half-assed patches on top to cover the known holes.

I feel like take home tests are meaningless and I always have. Even more so now with LLMs, though 9/10 times you can tell if it's an LLM-people don't normally put trivial comments in the code such as > // This li
